My first kiss, my turning point. I guess when I received it, everything changed. For me though, I don’t know about the girl, I don’t know what she felt.
16 February 2016. It was a school day, the day was hot, and sunny. The school buildings stood tall, and big. They hovered over us, like giants.
We sat in the shed, under the tree, the cool air the tree provided slapped so good, as we wiped our sweat off our foreheads.
The school learners went up and down the school corridors, wearing their extra sassy casual clothes. It was the Valentines bash, and as expected, learners went all out, trying to look beautiful. From extra make up, with a thick layer of foundation, to, very short skirts, and revealing vests. Baggy trousers, t-shirts that went all the way down to the knees and boots, for the boys.
We had gone all out, I tell you! My friends and I sat under the shed, casually and carefully sipping the vodka we had sneaked in, trying to get a high, and catch some “pluck”
We passed the small bottle cap around, taking shots, the hot liquid flowed down our throats and chests. It felt so good to be this careless! We were getting tipsy, of course the bottle of Russian bear was halfway through, and we were just a group of 4.
“So what if we get drunk and smoke weed? We just having fun, we don’t care who sees?” We sang the retro snoop dawg song, we were too young for it, but, it matched our mood.
“Your girl’s coming.” Buhle, my friend nudged me.
I looked up to see Palesa coming towards me. She looked so beautiful in her black shorts, black shirt and a white cardigan was thrown on top. She was wearing white sneakers, and she smeared red lipstick on her full lips. She looked so appealing. Her braids were unruly, and she kept pushing them back, as she walked towards where I was.
“Hey, baby.” She smiled at me. “You look so pretty. It’s like they aren’t there.” She said, touching my chest to feel my breasts.
“Hey, babe. You look so beautiful.” I stood up and hugged her.
“Can you accompany me to the tuck shop?”She asked.
“Sure.” I took one swig at the bottle cap and gave the lid to my friends.
She slipped her hands in mine and we walked away, feeling the hot sun piercing my skin.
“Are you drunk, already?” She asked.
“Not yet.” I shook my head, I could feel the vodka having its influence on me. It felt so surreal and yet so, lively.
She nodded and we kept walking, we walked towards the C-Block.
The bash was just getting started, the learners were moving onto the centre stage, some twerking, others dancing, and most were just socializing, and screaming at the dancers.
I looked around and spotted my friends standing by the DJ. Those girls! I knew they wanted to get a clear view of the boys, so they can pick which one they liked.
I looked back at my girlfriend, and she was grinding against me. I started moving with her, our bodies close together, and my hands exploring her body.
“Hey! Distance!” The deputy principal said, waving his stick at us.
We smiled and moved back, and he walked away.
The bash was going well, everything was as expected. The kids and the music were a vibe. I liked it all! I loved the noise, the drunken shouts. I wonder how the teachers didn’t notice that we were a bunch of drunk and horny teenagers.
Palesa grabbed my hand and pulled me to her. My eyes were half closed, and she looked up at me with her big bright eyes. She gave me a peck on the lips, then another and another, and another.
“What are you doing?” I laughed. “Busy baby kissing me.” I continued
“I missed you. Besides, you look like a snack.” She smiled at me. “Aren’t you tired of these baby kisses?” She asked me.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“I mean..” she moved closer to me and gave me a full kiss. Her lips took mine, she controlled the kiss in every aspect. Her lips felt so good and soft, I was introduced to a world of arousal. A drop landed so casually on my underwear, and I pulled back, smiling sheepishly.
“Wow.” I breathed out, opening my eyes slightly.
“I love you, okay?” She told me, so genuinely.
“I… I love you too.” I smiled.
We leaned closer again, and we kissed again and again.
“Hey! You two.” The deputy shouted, walking towards us again.
“Sorry, sir.” We laughed.
“Girlfriend and girlfriend. If I catch you two getting sexual again, I’ll punish you.” He threatened.
He left and we both imitated him.
“So that was it?”She asked.
“What?”
“Your first kiss?” She smiled
I nodded shyly and looked at her eyes, “I’m glad I had it with you.” I pulled her closer and we kissed again. We got engrossed in each other, our lips were doing magic, our hands moved like crazy, and I heard her small whimpers, as she tightly held my shoulders and rushed her hands up to the back of my head. My hands slipped under her t-shirt and I grabbed one of her twins in my left hand. “I love you.” She mumbled inside my lips.
I intensified the kiss, and pulled her even closer to my body, feeling the heat of her skin.
“Okay, that’s it. Break it up. Follow me.” The deputy principal pushed us apart.
Damn! We got caught. We laughed silently and followed him to his office.
“You two will stay here for an hour. No party for you.” He frowned, after hitting us with his stick.
We smiled as we knew what privacy meant. The deputy principal thought he was punishing us, whereas he was just giving us more privacy to enjoy exploring each other. He walked out, locking the door behind him.
Palesa sat on top of the table and I stood in between her legs, feeling so hot and craving for her lips.
“Where were we?” I asked, pulling her closer to me.
“Here.” she gently kissed my lips and grabbed me by the waist, to pull me closer. “I love you.”She said again.
